19 Weed-Infused Beauty Products to Help You Celebrate 4/20

Gallery20 Slides

Our favorite pop culture holiday is here again, and the timing couldn’t be better. There’s a cannabis renaissance happening in the beauty world and people are becoming acquainted with the lesser-known effects of the marijuana plant. (Rihanna is basically the spokesperson for the most important one — looking cool.) Cannabis contains up to 133 known cannabinoids, compounds that interact with the body’s internal endocannabinoid system. The one everyone’s so obsessed with right now is CBD (short for Cannabidiol). It works with the body’s receptors to do several things, like repel stress, reduces pain and inflammation, and even clear up the skin. The only thing it won’t do is get you high. To some cannabis enthusiasts, that might sound like a bummer, but the fact that it doesn’t get you stoned is one reason CBD is so popular. It gives people an opportunity to experience benefits of the plant without the psychotropic effects. No munchies either. Here are a few of our favorite ways to go green for 4/20.

Leave it to the brand behind skin-blotting rolling papers to celebrate going vegan with a mascara made of CBD-rich cannabis oil. There’s a tree-shaped “Puff Puff Brush”, of course, and thickening heart-shaped plant fibers to get lashes truly lifted.

I. Pekar Tissue Repair Serum Infused with CBD Oil

New York City facialist Ildi Pekar is known for keeping supermodel skin on lock. (Miranda Kerr and Irina Shayk are clients.) Her latest concoction is a fancy CBD-spiked tissue repair serum with hyaluronic acid and vitamins C and B3. There’s an overnight cannabis treatment on the way, too: I. Pekar Sleeping Mask Infused with CBD will be available on April 26.

When your muscles are screaming or your head is throbbing, this cooling balm with CBD, mint, and eucalyptus releases tension so you can blissfully rub away aches. (A lifesaver if you’re not into pain pills.) The lavender scent is calming at bedtime, and definitely smells sexier than Bengay.

So, your skin is crying for hydration but you’re a bit zit-prone right now and mercury is retrograde so your face is freaking out. A dab of this non-greasy hemp oil with jojoba, antioxidant raspberry, and green tea can help you maintain clarity and balance.

The clever packaging on this organic soap makes it a great gift. (It’s plantable!) Once unwrapped, the rustic slab makes any bathroom look cooler. Along with whole-plant CBD, it scrubs and softens skin with activated charcoal, chamomile, coconut milk, and botanical oils.

Lit Kit and chill? If you live in a marijuana-legal state, the original version offers everything for the perfect night in: a soak, a toke, and something sweet. Luckily, a new CBD-only kit is available to help you zen out without the high. There’s a stress-melting bath bomb with lavender and chamomile oils, a pre-roll cone minus the herb (blame Jeff Sessions), and an infused milk chocolate.

This adorable appliance looks like a coffee maker, but it’s used to infuse herbs into butter or oil (coconut, olive, whatever). Herbs such as weed. Now, with literally zero chemistry skills, you can easily make cannabutter for “special” brownies or brew up your own cannabis skincare products.

The supplement world is riding a wave of CBD oils at the moment. One of the chicest options is from NYC natural-skin spa CAP Beauty. The edible blend is a collab with the cannabis OGs at Apothecanna, with mushrooms and herbal adaptogens, meant to ease your mind. It’s not psychoactive so the only thing getting lit is your skin — from within.

It was only a matter of time before we saw a line of products based on two of skincare’s MVPs: cannabis oil and manuka honey. This set is particularly convenient now that we’re venturing outdoors again. Plus we love a natural lip balm we can lick without trepidation.

Whoopi & Maya Soak

We’ll take road less traveled and skip the “high on bath salts” joke, and instead focus on how blissfully therapeutic these THC-infused Epsom salt crystals are. Even straitlaced grandmas can’t help but get down with the skin-softening, ache- and pain- soothing bath. If she doesn’t like Amber Moon, W&M’s signature woodsy and warm scent, there’s a very granny-friendly lavender version, too.

Speakeasy Lip Balms

These everyday balms are a who’s-who of moisturizing ingredients (jojoba oil, beeswax, castor oil, peppermint, vitamin E and pure golden cannabis oil, naturally). Plus, they both pack an extra kick: The black tube is pomegranate-flavored, with 10 mg. of THC, while the white one has a fresh spearmint taste and 10 mg. of CBD.

Cannabis boosts beauty from within, too — protein is the foundation for every hair, skin, and nail cell in the body. One tbsp. of this hemp/pea blend contains as much as two eggs, and a dose of prebiotics too. (Honestly, have you ever seen a chicer supplement?)

Lord Jones is known for gorgeously designed artisanal weed candy — check out their limited-edition gummy collaboration with Icelandic ambient rock band Sigur Ros that's spiked with CBD. Know this: Their luxe, fresh-scented pain relief lotions are not to be overlooked. Available in 5:1 or 1:1 CBD-THC ratios for targeted or everyday soothing, they’ve just released a CBD-only version that ships to all 50 states.
